The second pairing (Petry-Alzner) stumbled and bumbled their way through that one. Benn and Streit were better. Weber and Mete looked excellent.

The forward lines looked decent. The Hudon-Plekanec-Lehkonen line is a coach's dream. Pity there's noone with size because they will definitely wear down. Galchenyuk-Danault-Shaw lacked chemistry. Both Galchenyuk and Danault trying to force things unnecessarily. 4th line was pretty good. Hemsky a better battler than I expected.
